The commission said in a statement Thursday that it took the action because Cyrus often "undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law."

Tickets ranging from $27 to $370 for the concert in the capital have been on sale since July.

Some critics have declared Cyrus' onstage antics, including twerking and crotch-grabbing, as vulgar.

A representative for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Concert organizers in the Dominican Republic did not comment on the ban.

The commission in the past has banned songs it considers vulgar from the airwaves, including some by Calle 13 of Puerto Rico.

To be fair, it used to take a lot less to scandalize people, but Madonna's writhing about the stage in a wedding dress really set the bar for all the sexed-up VMA performances to come.

Pee-Wee Herman had a spectacular career with his Tim Burton-directed "Big Adventure" and his smash kids' show -- until he got caught masturbating in an adult movie theatre. His first post-scandal appearance was this perfectly self-deprecating gag to open the VMAs. He got a standing ovation. He deserved it.

The VMAs may be infamous for the lengths with which female pop stars go to literally expose themselves, but Prince wasn't about to let the girls hog all the fun. So at the 1992 awards he performed his none-too-subtle single "Gett Off" in a pair of assless pants.

Nirvana had a love-hate relationship with MTV but that doesn't mean they didn't go all-in during their '92 VMA performance. So Krist Noveselic was probably just trying to make a rock'n'roll moment when he launched his bass high into the air -- and he achieved that effect when it subsequently cracked him on the head, knocking him to the floor.

Shock jock Howard Stern debuted his superhero alter-ego Fartman at the 92 VMAs, descending onto the stage with a really bad case of gas and an uncovered tush in a Princely parody.

The marriage of the King of Pop and the daughter of the King of Rock'n'Roll was seen by many as Jackson's attempt to salvage his reputation after child molestation accusations. The couple made their made public debut at the VMAs with an awkward kiss and Jackson's snarky "And just think, nobody thought this would last." By the way, it didn't.

Courtney Love, the very definition of a hot mess, began throwing contents of her purse at Madonna while the Material Girl was in the midst of an interview. They then proceeded to go at one another on live television.

Accepting her "Best New Artist" VMA, Fiona Apple took the opportunity to warn viewers about the celebrity life the award show was celebrating: "This world is bullshit, and you shouldn't model your life on what we think is cool, and what we're wearing and what we're saying."

Lil' Kim showed up at the '99 VMAs wearing a scandalous top. Perhaps we would have forgotten about it, but later that evening, while presenting an award to Diana Ross, the legendary singer couldn't resist the temptation to give Kim's boob a lil' jiggle.

The rap-rock band was better known for protesting globalization and George Bush, but it's hard to blame Rage bassist Tim Commerford for getting rage-y after losing to Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff." So he climbed the set to disrupt Fred Durst's acceptance, and was later arrested.

The hand-puppet from the Conan O'Brien show would later start a feud with Eminem at the following year's VMAs, but it's hard to top this delightful exchange with Jennifer Lopez. "J. Lo. J. Lo. Please, please let me get a sniff of your butt. Come on. I don’t get it. J. Lo. She doesn't understand. For a dog it's like climbing Mt. Everest."

Who could forget the famous kiss between Britney Spears and Madonna, and Madonna and Christina Aguilera during their MTV VMA performance in 2003? Oh, you forgot Madge kissed Xtina? That might have been because MTV's producers cut to a Timberlake reaction shot after the Brit lip-smack.

Her "Gimme More" performance in 2007 was supposed to be Britney's big comeback -- after a very rough year -- but it turned out to be a big flop as the out-of-shape and just generally out-of-it pop star delivered a dazed and confused performance.

Two of the "Baywatch" star's beaus came to blows off-camera at the 2007 VMAs. Lee apparently said something to which Rock responded with a slap and a punch. Lee was removed from the venue while Rock got cited for misdemeanor battery. Jamie Foxx later pleaded to the audience that we need to "stop the white-on-white crime."

Taylor Swift won the "Best Female Video" award, making history as the first country singer to do so. But she soon made history again when Kanye West appeared out of nowhere and interrupted Swift's acceptance, claiming that Beyonce had made the best music video of all time and turning "I'mma let you finish" into an eternal meme.

Lady Gaga is known for her eccentricity but nobody saw the unexpected blood-soaked finale coming during a performance of "Paparazzi" at the 2009 VMAs.

Sacha Baron Cohen, dressed like a scandalous angel to promote his Bruno movie, dropped from the sky and right onto Eminem's face. The rapper did not find this funny and walked out, though it was later revealed Slim Shady was in on the joke and they even practiced it at the dress rehearsal.

Lady Gaga risked the ire of PETA to make a statement about, um, pop starts being treated pieces of meat? Nope, apparently it had to do with the U.S. military's don't ask-don't-tell policy. Whatevs, but it sure was memorable and is now a museum piece in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame after being preserved as jerky.

Beyonce shocked the audience when she unbuttoned her glittery blazer, at the end of her "Love On Top" performance, to reveal a prominent baby bump, announcing that her and Jay-Z were expecting their first child. In other words, Blue Ivy has been on the VMAs literally since before she was born.

After what Chris Brown did to his then-girlfriend en route to the 2009 Grammys, fans were shocked to find out Rihanna gave him a hug and kiss after winning the best video award.

Twas the twerk heard 'round the world as Miley essentially erased Thicke's blurred lines with her butt.
